[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 821721, member: 16303"] The linebred animal has been bred so for one of two reasons, pedigree (to certain animal) or because of traits that certain animals may posses. Hopfully those desirable traits are then more concentrated in the linebred animal. So if you cross a linebred Angus to a linebred Simmental or any other breed, you will still have the maximum amount of heterosis. But take a linebred Angus and mated to a linebred Simmental/Angus (and if the Angus part also posses some of the linebred Angus genetics) there will be a slight reduction in heterosis. The greatest amount of heterosis is mating two unrelated animals. [/QUOTE]
